Our site shows 110 MPS that's why I asked. Also I think this is first SWR train to run with 3AC economy coaches.
It's likely that some folks would've stretched to afford the 3E/3A fares instead of boarding connecting trains via Mumbai, because the latter option would still be more expensive than SL fare for direct journey in this train. For a means of public mass transit I don't think it's correct that people should be forced to cough up the cost of AC classes by doing rake standardization, such long distance train journeys aren't a luxury for most.
Also regarding the question of running an Antyodaya train on this route, it could be argued...

If Railways are making sufficient profits on this train then a second train with only SL and GS and two or three AC coaches can be run especially as holiday special.
Now we are seeing rake standardization is becoming a norm in almost every part of IR now. If these passenger trains become profitable then IR can think of running some holiday special trains on certain routes like I said. Excessive profits earned can be utilised to serve the poor people who can't afford to travel in AC class.

Few days ago 11014 Coimbatore - Mumbai LTT Express skipped Ambernath and i saw the entire train, last few AC Coaches were nearly Empty, the Last GS Coach literally looked jampacked, people were sitting on the footboard, Rlys desperately need to add additional GS and SL with what i saw :/
We should thank Railways that in this train they have added an extra SL still I would say one more GS and PC should be added and run as full 22 LHB.
When I captured it's first LHB run back in February at same station it had 4 GS and not completely jam-packed but now it has only 2 GS and both were jam-packed effect of reduction clearly visible.
